Harnessing the Power of Your Voice: How to Effectively Advocate for Policy Change

Wednesday - April 5, 2017

8:00 am - 12:00 pm

Boston

In this time of unprecedented political turmoil and resurgence of political and social activism, the 2017 MCNP Annual Health Policy Breakfast will be focusing on how to effectively advocate for policy change.

The event will begin at the UMASS Club/Boston where MCNP legislative leaders will review the current health care challenges facing the Commonwealth and the goals of our bill, An Act to Contain Health Care Costs and Improve Access to Value Based Nurse Practitioner Care as Recommended by the IOM and FTC.

Members of our new lobbying team will discuss what we can expect as our bill advances through this legislative session and highlight effective communication strategies and advocacy tools to influence legislators.

We will be welcoming our bill sponsors and extending an invitation to members of the House and Senate to join us for breakfast.

The morning will culminate with a Unity Walk to the State House where attendees will make drop-in visits to the offices of their legislators.

Whether you are a seasoned NP or student who will soon be joining the profession, this event will give you an opportunity to meet our new lobbying team, interact with legislators and their staff, and empower you to let your voice be heard as an active participant in the legislative process.

Breakfast and approved CE credit will be provided.

Tickets for the Breakfast Program are $30 for Students, $40 for Current MCNP Members, $50 for Non-Members.

Registration deadline is March 29, 2017 but we encourage you to register early as space is limited and this program fills quickly.
